Sharing Photos Just Got Easier

Last month, Mail2World announced the release of WebMail V12, an online communications hub that makes digital communication a breeze. We’re thrilled with the tremendous feedback we’ve received about the new V12. Over the next few weeks, we will highlight a key feature or application in v12 to give our users a closer look at how they can benefit from the new platform.

Today, we want to spotlight one of the features we’re particularly excited about -- Social Sharing.

WebMail v12 is integrated with 10+ social and video mapping platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Box.com, Dropbox and more, making it easy to share content. Simply click on the social share button at the bottom of the composer, select and log into the social network that contains the content you want to share.

The Social Sharing tool allows you to log into one or all of your social accounts without ever leaving your inbox. The best part is, you can share photos or videos with your email contacts – even if they don’t have a social media account. In addition, it allows you to share various types of content from social media sites, including photos from Facebook and Twitter, to documents on cloud storage sites, such as Dropbox and OneDrive.

Sharing on Social Media Sites (i.e. FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc.)

Click on the share icon at the bottom of the compose screen and a pop-up window will appear asking for your social account credentials. Once you’ve logged in and the credentials are approved, you’ll be able to share photos which appear as links in an email. Be sure your photo’s privacy settings are set to “public” in the social network’s settings where the photo is being hosted. The email recipient will be able to see the photo you’ve shared even if he or she is not a part of any social network.

Sharing content from Cloud Accounts (i.e. Dropbox, One Drive, etc.)

With the popularity of digital photos, most people back up photos in the cloud to ensure images never get lost. Although WebMail v12 comes with its own cloud storage in its Drive application, we know that many people also have accounts with other providers. That’s why we’ve made it possible for you to share photos, documents and other files from other cloud accounts, such as Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive.

Sharing content from Cloud accounts is a similar process to sharing from social media sites. Simply click on the Social Share tool and login to your Cloud account. Once the credentials are approved, you’ll be able to share files, which appear as links, with your email contacts. Although the links will direct users to a download page from the cloud storage site, the recipient is not required to have an account.

Mail2World is thrilled about the social sharing tool because it brings all your digital communication together in one place, further allowing you to expand your network of friends, business associates and more. With Social Sharing You Can:

Share content with a wider network of people, even if those recipients aren’t part of any social network. All you need is an email address!

Forget size limits on attachments–The Social Sharing feature doesn’t require attaching any files. You never have to worry about exceeding limits again.

Control what and when content is shared– You decide who has access to your content. If you decide you no longer want to share content, simply login to the social network and set that content as private.

Skip (or bypass) downloading before sharing – With Social Sharing, there’s no need to download content to share, simply send the link.

Mail2World is one of the few companies that integrates multiple social networks into its email platform. We’re excited about the social sharing feature within V12 and look forward to hearing your feedback. In the coming months, we’ll spotlight more applications within V12 to give you an in-depth look to help you get the most from this platform. Stay tuned!
